The Death Disk

Selma Pruitt feels she is perfect for the job of executive director of the Martindale Foundation, and thought her interview with wealthy Elwood Townsend, the foundation’s trustee, was progressing smoothly until he suddenly turned her down. To her consternation, she discovers that he believes she stole a small gold disc during the interview. No one accepts her vehement claims of innocence, and soon she begins to doubt her own sanity.

A woman gets a job at a charity, but then they fire her and say she stole money. She didn't steal anything, so she asks the police to help prove she's innocent. When the cops won't help her, she decides to hunt down the truth herself.

After being hired by a charitable institution, a woman is surprised when the offer is not only suddenly withdrawn, but she is accused of theft as well. In order to clear her name of a crime she did not commit, she seeks the aid of the local police. When they wash their hands off the case, she takes matters into her own hands and conducts her own investigation.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
